Graduated in 1996. Im 25 now, this school has some of the best memories of my life.


Posted April 30, 2010

This is a fine school that welcomes students into a safe, comfortable environment conducive to learning. The Principal, APs, Staff, Teachers, Parents and Students, all make this school as special as can be. I truly enjoy the time I spend there and believe any parent would love to have their child attend this wonderful school.

My daughter is in second grade. I have to say over all it is like one big family. If i had to travel for 2 hours to keep my child in this school i would. All the children are known by first name by the whole staff and as for her learning her teacher goes above and beyond to push their learning ability.

You will not find a principal who cares more for her students as well as teachers and staff! This is the ideal place to be if you love teaching and want a fair shot at it. Its a great place to be if you are a student! If you are a parent, rest assured that your child will flourish and progress successfully!

About the tests


In 2011-2012 New York used the New York State Assessments to test students in grades 3 through 8 in English language arts and math, and in grades 4 and 8 in science. The results for English language arts and math are displayed on GreatSchools profiles and the science results will be added when they are released in the Fall of 2013. The tests are standards-based, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of New York. The goal is for 90% of students to meet or exceed grade-level standards on the tests.
